[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What exactly is the problem so many people have with the term "rich"? Why are they so defensive about being labeled "rich"? Exactly, what is it you don't like about it? [/quote] I'll bite. I'm rich, but I would never think like that to myself or say it out loud. I come from a very middle class background - well educated but not tons of $$$. I feel very conflicted about thinking of myself as rich, when my parents, who are comfortably retired, will never be rich and in fact, sacrificed a lot financially for me and my siblings. I'm also terrified that if I admit I'm rich, I'll get used to it, and be upset if I'm not rich someday. I want to always be fiscally prudent, and I'm afraid I might get lax and spend too much if I lulled myself into thinking I'm rich. Plus the other reasons that folks have mentioned - we don't "look" rich based on lifestyle and we hang with a bunch of even richer folks.[/quote]
